• Use a support sheet with special paper, or load special paper one sheet at a time.• Make sure your paper meets the specifications for your product.• Use Epson papers to ensure proper saturation and absorption of genuine Epson inks.• Make sure the paper type setting in your product software matches the type of paper you loaded.• If you are printing on thick paper or envelopes, turn on the Thick Paper setting from the control panel

or select Thick Paper and Envelopes in the Extended Settings of the printer software. (Turning thissetting on will decrease print speed.)

• Remove each sheet from the output tray as it is printed.• Avoid handling printouts on glossy paper right after printing to allow the ink to set.• Turn off any high speed settings in your product software.• If you print on both sides of a sheet of paper, smudges may appear on the reverse side of heavily

saturated or dark images. If one side of a sheet will contain a lighter image or text, print that side first.Adjust the Print Density and/or Increase Ink Drying Time settings.

• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, ifnecessary.

• Align the print head.• Clean the paper path.

Grainy PrintoutIf your printouts are grainy, try these solutions:• Make sure you loaded the printable side of the paper correctly for your product.• Select a higher print quality setting and turn off any high speed settings in your product software.• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.• Align the print head.• You may need to increase the image resolution or print a smaller size; see your software

documentation.

Note: Images from the Internet may be low resolution and not result in a high quality printout.

• If you enlarged the image in an image-editing program, you need to increase the resolution setting toretain a high image quality. Increase the resolution by the same amount you increased the image size.For example, if the resolution is 300 dpi (dots per inch) and you will double the image size later,change the resolution setting to 600 dpi.

Note: Higher resolution settings result in larger file sizes, which take longer to process and print.Consider the limitations of your computer system when selecting a resolution, and select the lowestpossible resolution that produces acceptable quality to keep file sizes manageable.

Incorrect ColorsIf your printouts have incorrect colors, try these solutions:• Make sure the paper type setting matches the paper you loaded.• Make sure the Black/Grayscale or Grayscale setting is not selected in your printer software.• Run a nozzle check to see if any of the print head nozzles are clogged. Then clean the print head, if

necessary.• The ink cartridges may be old or low on ink, and you may need to replace them.• After you print, the colors in your printout need time to set as the ink dries. During this time, the colors

may look different than you expect. To speed up drying time, do not stack your printouts on top of eachother.

• Your printed colors can never exactly match your on-screen colors. However, you can use a colormanagement system to get as close as possible. Try using the color management options in yourprinter software.

• For best results, use genuine Epson ink and paper.Parent topic: Solving Print Quality ProblemsRelated conceptsPrint Head Nozzle CheckPrint Head CleaningRelated tasksSelecting Basic Print Settings - WindowsSelecting Additional Layout and Print Options - WindowsSelecting Basic Print Settings - OS XManaging Color - OS XRemoving and Installing Ink Cartridges
